Can I Run Arc Raiders PC?

Released in 2025, Arc Raiders PC is an action game built by Embark Studios. The game supports cooperative play. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Completionists have 50 achievements to work through. Its Steam review count passes 294 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Why Arc Raiders PC is demanding

Arc Raiders PC sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or Intel Arc B570, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Arc Raiders PC at the floor and Arc Raiders PC at the recommended tier are not the same experience. DirectX 12 is named, so Arc Raiders PC expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Arc Raiders PC?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Older hardware holds up here: Arc Raiders PC runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 580 or Intel Arc A380 enough to meet the minimum. Add 12 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

1440pBelow the bar0.58x
4KBelow the bar0.26x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
